A black fitted t shirt is a timeless piece that’ll never go out of style. And because it’s a basic, the tee has an endless list of options that make it easy to add a touch of your own personality with a simple accessory or an updated neckline.

Invest in a good fitting black t shirt to wear with everything from jeans and sneakers, to a button-down shirt and boots for a night on the town! A fashion editor told InStyle that choosing a fit that you like is a key part of building a strong wardrobe.

When it comes to tees, you’ll want one that’s comfortable and fits well through the shoulders, arms, chest and sleeves. You’ll also want to look for a fabric that’s soft and drapes well without looking too tight or scratchy, especially if you have a larger bust.

The Versatile Staple: How to Style a Black Fitted T-Shirt for Any Occasion

This Critical logo tee is an excellent choice for those who want a high-quality performance tee that’s not too tight or fades quickly. It’s made with a 60/40 blend that is super comfortable, breathable and doesn’t shrink as much as 100% cotton.

The fabric is a stretchy, moisture-wicking and breathable material that has an antimicrobial finish. It also has a curved hem so it won’t roll up and tuck into pants or jeans too easily.

This Banana Republic shirt is a perfect fit for me, despite being on the taller side at 5’11”. It’s soft and lightweight so it won’t overheat or feel suffocating during a hot day in the city. It’s also a great choice for traveling since it’s easy to pack in your suitcase and won’t wrinkle too easily.
